A TREASURY DECISION.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-A decision will
soon be rendered at the Treasury De-
partment which will be of equal interest
to shippers, consumers and railroad com
panies. For a considerable period the
Canadian Pacific Railroad Company has
been endeavoring to obtain from the
Treasury Department permission
to bond goods on the
steamship lines which runs from San
Francisco to the Pacific Railroad system.
The Importance of such an order will be
seen when it is understood that goods
shipped in bond from San Francisco
to Port Moody could be carried under
the same bond to any place within the
United States over the Canadian Pacific
Railroad. Permission to bond goods
over this line, therefore, is in effect
permission to the ansdian Pacific to
transport merchandise from the Pacific
coast to any desired point in the United
States at such rates as it may fix. This
would give the.Northern lake and from
tier cities in the United States
all of New England and
New York state through to the
transcontinental lines where rates could
not be controlled by the Interstate COM
merce act, and which, therefore, would
not be obliged to submit to the require
ments of long and short haul provisions,
The advantages of such route toishippers,
if at the expiration Of the term
of the suspension the fourth section of
the interstate commerce act is to be put
fran FOL
will be best understood by shippers them
selves. Those who represent the Canadl-
an Pacific Road are confident the permits
sion to bond this steamship line will be
obtained in g few days.
INTER. STATE COMMERCE.
WASHINGTON, May 20-At the instance
of the attorney for the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway Company the interstate
commerce commission has enlarged the
order in the case of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads to
include the Denver and Rio Grande Com
pany in It's operations. E. G. Stubs,
general sffic manager, appeared before
the commission and underwent e lengthy
giving reasons why the
Of the fourth section
of the inter state bill, IN so
far as 1t applies to transcontinental
lines, should be made permanent. He was
Sharply interrogated by the commits
sioners on some of the reasons he gave.
He was the only person examined, his
examination taking up the entire day.
Petitions for the enforcement of all the
provisions of the law have been received
from Dunlap Grange No. 9l9, Peoria
H.; the Charleston Exchange
and the Merchants Exchange of Charles
ton. The first named asks the enforce
ment Of the laws provisions in partial
way and not with q studied intent 10
